It is well known and documented that stress is an underlying cause of many illnesses. Stress impacts our physical, mental and emotional well-being. Massage is a great place to begin addressing your stress. Massage can be light and soothing or deep and nourishing. I work with you to see what your objectives are, so together we can come up with an effective treatment plan.

Massage increases blood flow to the muscles which increases metabolism. This helps your body relax and stimulates your lymphatic system, aiding in the elimination of toxins from your body. Massage loosens muscles, relieves tension and allows the body to return to a more natural alignment and posture. Massage is amazingly relaxing and can help you unwind during stressful times. It’s a great tool for body maintenance for any lifestyle.

The development of CranioSacral Therapy was accredited to Dr. John D. Upledger in the 1970s, however the CranioSacral Therapy modality has a much older story in the history of Osteopathy.

Our physical bodies, emotions and mental state are all connected, CranioSacral Therapy can help each of these areas heal in balance.

Reiki is a Japanese healing technique developed by a Buddhist monk named Mikao Usui. Today there are many Reiki practitioners throughout the U.S. My approach to Reiki uses light touch to focus on the chakras or energy centers along the spine. Subtle energy enters through the crown chakra, descends to the other chakras and is dispersed throughout the body. My approach to Reiki is to help this healing, nourishing, life sustaining energy, or Chi, flow more freely throughout the body’s energy system. The validity of the body’s subtle, unseen energy system, is the basis of the ancient Chinese practice of acupuncture, a healing modality respected around the world. This same energy system is the basis of the Reiki modality.
